"Fairly even frequency response overall:, a reasonable amount of bass, and clean, accurate (if a little extra) treble. Placing it near a wall will give it a bit of a bass boost (like any speaker, though especially helpful with small ones like this). There are a handful of wireless speakers that might sound a little better, but none that I’ve heard that are part of a full wireless system like the Pulse. It plays loud enough to fill a room with sound, even a bit louder than most people would prefer."

"The Pulse was the most natural sounding speaker of the group, and also one of the speakers that produced the greatest sense of depth and atmosphere.""To be honest, all the speakers reviewed were of top quality, each having their own plus points like ease of use and network connectivity, but ultimately when going with speakers you have to go with the one that sounds best, and that's the Bluesound Pulse... To our ears, the Pulse simply has the most refined sound of the group. There is a great naturalness produced by this speaker that lends well to lush soundscapes, and the dynamics of the drivers used allow the speaker to bring both rhythm and pace to performances, which makes for extremely enjoyable listening sessions. It may not be the cheapest, nor does it have the nicest interface, but in terms of audio it certainly brings the sweetest sound."

"The Pulse WiFi speaker provides a very pleasurable aural experience that includes a great deal of musicality. The Pulse was perfectly capable of being driven hard and played loud while maintaining its composure. The midrange, high-end and low-end of 'Time Out' by The Dave Brubeck Quartet and 'Pet Sounds' by The Beach Boys from Qobuz were spot-on, listening on the Pulse." - By Mark Abell

"Multi-room music has never sounded so good... for those with a NAS full of high-res music (or a plan to get one) and a penchant for serious audio quality, Bluesound’s system is worth every single penny."

"I’ve never known music to sound so good without the band in front of me... The Bluesound Pulse and Powernode devices give me the ability to wirelessly access music throughout the house... What I should really be calling this review is, 'How my kids move from room to room while listening to the Frozen soundtrack fully-synced between three sound systems in the house.'"

"I find the voicing of the Bluesound devices to be musically engaging and the Pulse is no exception. If you'd like to add a network and Bluetooth-capable portable player to your home hi-fi arsenal, the Pulse delivers very capable sound along with a great app in a nice compact package." - By Michael Lavorgna
